Michigan has once again become a battlefield filled with gunpowder!

Unlike the Battle of Liaokou, Mizhou was completely outside the territory of the Jin Army, and it was unscrupulous to kill people and set fires, so the cruelty of this war in Shandong was ten times worse than that of the Battle of Liaokou! Most of the local people in Mizhou had already crossed the glue to Laizhou for refuge, but the immigration wave at that time basically flowed from the Central Plains to the southeast, and even in the war, this trend continued, so as soon as the people of Mizhou left, the people of Jingdong Road and even Gyeonggi Road poured over again. Zong Han's vanguard troops caught the people and drove them to attack the city as the vanguard, which was a very barbaric and very effective means of warfare, at this time Liu Qitun was in Anqiu, Wang Xuantun was in Gaomi, and in the face of this kind of expelled people, they had to be treated as enemy troops, but these two troops were not Xiao Tienu's troops after all, and they fought fiercely during the day, and many soldiers were secretly weeping and vomiting at night, although they knew that they were helpless, but their bows and arrows were killed by their compatriots after all! If it weren't for the persuasion of the monks of Qixia Temple, many people would have gone crazy just because they were afraid of going off the battlefield.

"Not people! These Hu people are not people! "After the shedding of blood comes tears, and after the shedding of tears, there is only hatred.

"But we can't go back! Behind Gaomi is glue, Huaizikou, Laizhou, Dengzhou! ”

Laizhou and Dengzhou already had a population of more than one million at this time, once the Jin people rushed in...... The corpses of compatriots everywhere outside the city let all the generals know what will happen!

"Can't go back! If you retreat, you will go to Huaizikou! We can't let the Hu people harass Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

Whether Zhao Ju'er wants it or not, she has become a symbol of holiness at this time, she is not a Mulan-style hero, although she is brave, the soldiers who have seen her can feel the delicate body of this girl, but it is this delicate that can arouse the protection of millions of men the most!

"Protect Gaomi! Protect the princess! ”

Zhao Cheng'er didn't hear these cries in Huaizikou, but every time she saw the people and wounded retreating from the front line, she had to silently fold her eyes and pray. Several times she wanted to go to Gaomi in person to boost morale, but she was blocked by Hu Anguo and Zong Ying. On this day, Jinmen finally came, but it brought disappointing news.

"Princess, it's unlikely that the Han Department will send reinforcements over." Hu Yin said a little gloomily. He had just rushed from Jinmen to Huaizikou, and at this time he was analyzing the situation of the Han Department to Zhao Ju'er, Hu Anguo, Zong Ying and others: "Although Dengzhou and Laizhou are called Song Realm, the Han Department has long regarded this place as the doorstep, and now the forces commanded by Zhao Li and Liu Qi are also from the Han Department, and the loss of Dengzhou is very harmful to the Han Department, but as I just said, the current strength of the Han Department is their extreme, and if you take a step forward, it is a blatant resistance to Jin!" ”

Zhao Tanger, who had been to Jinmen, also knew what that meant, and sighed: "If you openly resist Jin, you will lose the life of the general, right?" ”

"Not bad." Hu Yin said: "So we ...... We can only hope for the imperial court. ”

"The ...... of the imperial court" has no confidence in Zhao Gou, but Zhao Tanger'er has no confidence in anyone else, even though it is her brother: "Can the imperial court still rely on it?" That's it, after thousands of miles, if I can't save my father and brother, I won't escape, if Huaizikou falls, then ...... Then I will go to the sea to protect my innocence and never fall into the hands of the golden people again! ”

When Hu Anguo, Zong Ying and others heard this, they knelt on the ground and cried: "The ministers swear to protect the princess, and they are willing to protect this city with the princess!" ”

After Zhao Tanger's words spread, the morale of the front-line generals was greatly boosted and they fought to the death, but the reinforcements from the south were delayed, and soon it was rumored that Zhao Gou had handed a table to the Jin people to request the Huai River as the boundary. Although this news has not yet been confirmed, the lack of reinforcements alone is enough to make the Bianliang army completely disappointed with the Southern Song regime.

In fact, Zhao Gou also understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, when Zong Han's army forced near Xuzhou, he hid on the south bank of the Yangtze River and felt unstable. However, it was also unrealistic for the Southern Song Dynasty court to immediately send a large army into the Shandong battlefield. Therefore, in the end, Zhao Gou's idea was to take a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, he sent envoys to the Jin camp to sue for peace, and on the other hand, he sent troops from all walks of life to Huainan and slowly marched north, not only to prevent the Jin soldiers from going south, but also to prepare to rescue Shandong. Because Zong Han did not immediately refuse after receiving Zhao Gou's peace request, Zhao Gou had a little more hope, but the Southern Song Dynasty court was not without capable people, Zhang Jun and others saw that Zong Han was delaying time, but whether it should be put into the Shandong battlefield immediately The Song court was still debating, and there were several mutinies and civil mutinies in the south, which made Zhao Gou more cautious when deciding on major matters.

At the same time as Zhao Gou and Zong Han negotiated, Ouyang Shi and Tart's lazy under-table negotiations also began. Unlike Zhao Gou, Ouyang Shi has a very accurate grasp of the internal intelligence of the Jin Kingdom, so he is not afraid of being deceived by the other party during the negotiation process. It's just that this time the Han Department has fallen behind militarily, and it is extremely troublesome to talk about.

The tart was lazy out of personal friendship, and he was still polite to Ouyang Shi's envoy, but the conditions offered were even harsher than Ouyang Shi expected! The Han Ministry did not agree to any of the requirements of maintaining the power east of the glue, and he said to Ouyang Shi's envoy: "Dajin is the king, the Han Ministry is the minister, what is there to talk about between the monarch and the minister?" He also said: "If you really want to talk, the Han Department will do two things first." It's done, and it's not too late to talk about other things. The messenger asked what was the matter, and said lazily: "First, Yang Yingqi went to Huining as a hostage; The second one, hand over the princess of Chu in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Which messenger would dare to accept these two conditions? In desperation, he returned and told Ouyang Shi truthfully.

Ouyang Shi frowned when he heard this, and Chen Xian sighed: "If it is something else, whether it is money, food, or even land, it can still be discussed, but how can these two things be done?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "If you can't talk about it, then you can only raise troops!" ”

"Raise troops?" Chen Xiandao: "If you start the army now, isn't that pushing the general to death?" Besides, if you start the army in a hurry, I'm afraid that it won't help! If the war is unfavorable, we'll have to retreat to the islands, and that's bad! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" Do you really hand over the old seven? Hmph, I really want to replace him, but now this situation has to keep Lao Qi no matter what, otherwise the Han Department will have to fall apart. ”

In fact, even if Ouyang Shi didn't make a move, the Han Department had already begun to show signs of splitting. The military is becoming more and more impatient with the strategy of the Jinmen Privy Council! It has been a long time since the general was lost, and Yang Yingqi has not been able to rescue him until now, and many generals have begun to ridicule him as incompetent. If it weren't for the support of Wan Yanhu and Yang Kaiyuan, maybe someone would have rebelled long ago - now the tradition of Han warriors not to interfere in politics is still relatively weak, the law is set, and the military science course is also emphasized, but the black and white words on the law are waiting for them to tear it up in the eyes of the unscrupulous, and the indoctrination in the military science course is not a mantra, and the soldiers can say it twice and let the soldiers honestly follow it. It takes a long time for a tradition to be formed, and this time is not measured in years, but in generations! Now the Han Ministry is not in chaos, that's because everyone still has the last bit of rationality, but how long can this rationality be maintained?

At this moment, the administrative operation and economic situation of the Han Department remained normal and even continued to develop, but the social psychology was turbulent because of the war situation in Shandong. In the past few years, a large number of manpower, material and financial resources from the Central Plains have poured into the East China Sea, so that too much strength and ambition have gathered in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty! It's like pressing a fist-sized balloon to the size of an egg, and the overly dense air inside the balloon will naturally rush out - at this moment, both merchants and warriors are desperate to expand, not back down! If the government led by Yang Yingqi cannot meet their demand, then they will have the desire to resist - or even overthrow! The Great General and the Seven Generals are indeed the founders of the Han Dynasty, but so what? Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi were able to be so supported before because their actions were consistent with the development direction of the Han Department, but now Zhe and Yang have become obstacles to their way forward! In the face of interests, all kindness has to give way!

Of course, in the face of the "incompetence" of Yang Yingqi's government, there is another way besides overthrowing, and that is betrayal! As the situation deteriorated, not only did the Han high-level feel a dilemma, but even some businessmen who were operating outside the jurisdiction of the Han began to waver. In just one month, there are more than a dozen powerful businesses and Korean enterprises eyebrows, three of these businesses were a year ago when Korean enterprises first opened the back door to give discounts and strictly abide by their duties, but now they have begun to waver. However, after all, there are still a few merchants who are shaken, and the prestige and foundation accumulated by the Han Department over the years will not be enough for the merchants to defect collectively before there is a little wind and grass, but how long will the patience of the merchants last? Yang Yingqi can't say for sure.

"If Shandong loses......" he took a long breath, "maybe it's all over!" The Han Department may not be finished, but I may be finished, and maybe the eldest brother will be finished...... No! No, it won't! ”

Yang Yingqi touched his heart, he found that he could still be completely calm, and he could hear his steady heartbeat: "My heart is not messed up yet!" At some times, Yang Yingqi felt that his heart was more intelligent than his brain, not intelligence, but wisdom: "My qi should not be exhausted!" Heaven must not have abandoned me, so it didn't disturb my heart! Things must turn around! Maybe this turning point is deeply hidden, but it must be there...... But where......"

It was this confidence and perseverance that allowed Yang Yingqi to stabilize and not fall. Yang Yingqi remembered that Zhi Yanchong stroked his forehead and said: "Many times things that can't be solved by wit, but they can be supported by courage!" ”

"Courage ......"

At that time, it was the courage of two people, but now he is the only one left...... "No! Although the eldest brother is not in Jinmen, he must be like me at this moment, supporting his back and supporting the ideals of his brothers thousands of miles away! ”

Yes, Yang Yingqi thought so and cheered up because he had such thoughts!
